Drawing on a vast reservoir of historical knowledge, Vidal-Naquet unravels a series of myths and ideologies that have become entangled with Jewish history over the centuries. The Jews covers subjects as deep in the past as the Jewish encounter with Hellenization in the second century B.C.E., and as current as modern-day Israeli-Palestinian relations. The Jews opens in the classical period, looking in particular at the work of Flavius Josephus, who wrote the original account of the events at Masada. Resisting the powerful currents of ideological orthodoxy, Vidal-Naquet examines what he views as Israeli nationalist distortions of the historical and archaeological record at Masada. In the promotion of an ideal of Jewish unity in the ancient world, he contends, some have chosen to ignore evidence of pluralism, civil strife, and the power of the Diaspora experience in the Jewish past. The book continues with an engaging discussion of the era of Jewish emancipation in Europe, during the French Revolution and thereafter, in which Vidal-Naquet explores the complex meanings of emancipation and assimilation. Employing previously unexamined material written by Alfred Dreyfus himself, he continues with a reevaluation of the Dreyfus affair, the episode of anti-Semitism and betrayal that shook France at the turn of the century. The Jews explores books, films, and eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust, including works by Arno Mayer, Claude Lanzmann, and Primo Levi."; 9.22 X 6.29 X 1.12 inches; 368 pages ., Columbia Univ Pr, 1996, 5, Orient BlackSwan, 2017. First edition. Softcover. New. About the Book The modern study of Comparative Politics emerged in the late nineteenth century, and since then has evolved largely due to the research in US universities. Comparative Politics is one of the three core components of political science, the other two being political theory and international relations. However, it was only in the twentieth century that comparative government and politics emerged as an important sub-field within the discipline of political science. Since then, it has undergone tremendous transformation in terms of its nature and ambit of study. Theoretical Foundations of Comparative Politics analyses in depth the theories and concepts that form the foundation of comparative politics. Concentrating on the study of this sub-discipline in the context of the developing world, this book: Analyses core concepts from a non-Western perspective. Explains new modifications to the study of comparative politics, for example, through the theories of Skocpol and Wallerstein. Analyses various forms of government‰ÛÓfederal system, parliamentary and presidential systems. Analyses the notion of the state and its different perspectives. Discusses the impact of liberalisation and globalisation on comparative politics. Discusses important world events, such as the collapse of communism in the 1990s, a unified Europe and the recent Brexit, and their effect on the discipline. Examines new issues of gender and environment, and how they are affecting contemporary comparative politics. Detailed and filled with recent, relevant examples from world and Indian politics, this book will be invaluable to undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science and comparative politics.

Langaa Research & Publishing, 2013. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Mentan (political science, journalism and mass communication), who has taught in African, American and Canadian universities, here creates a profile of neoliberal ideology and applies it to current global governance. He defines the liberal state, neoliberalism and thought control, and future expectations with African democracy.

(2013 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), Langaa Research & Publishing, 2013, 0, Global Vision Publishing House, 2011. Softcover. New. This book entitled Entrepreneurship Development examines the conceptual development and practical application of techniques and management of an entrepreneurial institution. This volume covers fourteen chapters to meet the needs of entrepreneurship development courses. Its objective is to present a clear, realistic, and contemporary perspective of entrepreneurship. Accordingly, the subject matter reflects major innovations and advancements in shaping contemporary thought and practice of entrepreneurship development. The scope in this book is being altered to reflect developments such as increasing social responsibilities, changing governmental relationships, and the internationalization of business organisation. The approaches are being restructured as a result of the current emphasis on contributions of the behavioral and social sciences, quantitative methods, and technological analysis. The content is being modified by the appearance of the new concepts, models, theories, courses, and curricula. All the materials included have been tested carefully in courses at both undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels of entrepreneurship management. This textbook analyses all the course materials in a very brief and compressed manner as required for the examination. Contents Preface (v) 1. The Concept and Nature of Entrepreneurship 1 2.

Extract from the Foreword note by Dr. K. L. Johar Former Vice-Chancellor Guru Jambheshwar University, Hissar (Haryana) and Vice-chairman of Seth Jai Parkash Mukund Lai Institutions of knowledge and Service, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana (India). Most text books on managerial economics are either too advanced and complicated in language and illustration or inadequate in contents. The authors of this book have a clear target and know the subject intimately in very minute detail. The inclusion of the Chapters on Globalization and Indian Reform Process, Corporate Governance and the Role of New Age Managers, WTO, etc. is a special feature of this book. I appreciated the effort of the authors, who have written and revised this book with due care to bring in realistic business experience. The discussion of Business Cases including turn around of Indian Railways is highly praise worthy. Printed Pages: 0., UDH Books, 6, Routledge/Manohar Publisher & Distributors, 2006. 2nd edition.
